Surfnshannon Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 ****ACK**** u guys base your opinion of american culture on the show Married with Children and Jerry Springer. Good lord. I can see why you have been tainted. That is definately not representitive of us Americans. That would be like us saying that every person of Indian decent is like the guy selling slurpies from the Simpsons!! Our country is not full of white trash lower income rednecks!! NE ways. My spelling and grammer usually is teh suck cuz I type 70 words per minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHobGoblin Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 End this Thread already. It's ending itself all we need is a delete thread. Make room for more pointful Threads not a thread about someone who wants to whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHobGoblin Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 We should end this becuase it's gonna mess up the forum community badly and make the swamp less popular if we have a these little things. Boss you getting mad becuase you think everyone will not know what they are doing but you should think how everyone is REALLY going to react to such a thread. See Making a thread like this always turns very bad. Not everyone goes the exact way you planned it out at first. You should have stoped and thought somewhere when you started this thread and say to yourself "Should I do this, they might get mad, I shouldn't." Save us the time please and stop the thread. If you see someone bashing america or canada then that's a good time to enter a fight but starting trouble is (BY COMMON SENSE) not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky_Baccy Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 It made me laugh I can take jibes at the UK, and I enjoy laughing at and making fun of my country quite often; after all, it does some pretty stupid things sometimes I'm beginning to wonder if most Americans are too insecure to take a joke as it's meant...

Weapon X Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 i never said we had the best country, well kinda i did, we're rich, have the most powerful military, and we like to enjoy ourselves, so yeah, if you can say all that about your country TRUTHFULLY then i'll back down, but if you can't then why should i? cuz you can't do anything about me saying my country is nice? haha, i throw logic at you, whether you take it in or not is up to you, you might learn something about OPINIONS, so what if i don't like to diverse my posts into paragraphs? is that up to you whether i do or not? no? ok, i can but i choose not to, well maybe right now i will since i do a entire subject change. boss, where are you from/where do you live? what kinds of guns do you shoot? just curious, cuz you have a lot of anger towards the U.S. and if you have access to guns i don't feel safe if there's gonna be another terrorist tryin to mess up our way of life, how does EVERY american show make fun of canadians? did you know that a LOT of our comedians are canadian? in my mind that makes it alright to make fun of a race or country, if you are or do have something to do with it, i live on the rez, in my mind it makes it ok for me to make fun of it, i can make fun of germans, norwegians, irish, and the dutch, because i am of decent of all of them, so, just think for a little bit and then try to sound smart, you just dug yourself into a hole here, and unless you start thinking before you say something that can EASILY overturned to make you sound "not so smart" then people will just not pay attention to any of your posts, settle down, how was The Hobgoblin being disrespectful when he said to close the thread? i don't think he was, but that's just me if anyone is tired of discussing these matters then why not just quit coming to this thread? it makes sense doesn't it? to me it does, but then again, that's just me. and when i said ameriCa, that was meant to show that ameriCa is spelled with a C and not a K, that's been the spelling forever so keep it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was never meant as a discussion, but now it has turned into a discussion because certain people took the thread much too seriously. Reason I don't luagh at my contry is becuase I defend my country I don't betray my country. You may do that but I dont. I can have a disscussion without insulting people but what boss been saying a few times is really just sad. This is a discussion to begin with. It's not a chit-chat place. This is a place of discussions. They don't take it too seriously they discusse it. May I also add that having real discussions hard for you?

I'm a bit unclear on what you're saying here... Do you mean that making fun of one's country is akin to betraying it? ...Or that pointing out the flaws in, and criticising one's country is the same as betraying it? If either is the case, then your logic is horribly flawed... If you didn't mean either of those two things, or something similar, then please ignore this post, as it will be irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Aight people, calm the damn down. Hobgoblin, realize that your country is where you live - while you probably feel it has done a lot for you, that can be said about any country you live in. You don't betray your country by admitting it is wrong in some ways. Quite the opposite. Anakin, just because your country is rich and has a powerful military does not mean it is the best. And make paragraphs, otherwise people aren't going to read your posts. I already stopped doing that more or less. The rest of you can watch your mouth as well, and stop participating in this thread if you don't like what's being said here. You do not defend your country by coming to these boards and bash on other people. That goes to both groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although many crticize the palotics, I'll admit I do, but to criticize everything about america like making as little mistake is betraying it. But standing with your country and forgiving it for it's mistakes is not betraying. If your are still confused read my bro's post on the either 1st or 2nd page of this thread (He used my account to write it).

Sivy Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 wow, to quote nelly, it's getting hot in here my brother used to bug the hell out of me when i was younger and i would go around saying what a dick he was, but then if someone else would have said that i would go psycho on them. this is the same, your country is like a member of your family, you can say what you like about it, make fun, moan, complaint whatever and it's ok, but if someone else says something about it you get mad. no matter how true or untrue. that's the way it is bottom line is, if you don't want people saying stuff about your country then don't say anything about theirs.

Cjais, you so smarttttt! exactly, i mean calm down hobgoblin a take a chill pill () laugh a little and just cause i like guns and making people laugh how does it show how smart i am?! its like me saying you like spider man and named yourself after a character that means your stuped and childish which i hope is not true because i like comics to, HELL im a comic bok collecter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well Oh, I thought he meant in general I too think needless bashing is to be avoided. There's one small relevant critique in this thread's original topic: USA needs a better school system. No, I'm not buying the excuse about "Americans just like to joke around, clicking the wrong answers on purpose" crap. It is disturbing that so few Americans can find their own country. However, this thread has strayed quite a bit from that topic, and I'm not touching anymore of this anti-USA crap going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Gnarly Posted December 20, 2002 Author Share Posted December 20, 2002 anti-america? hell no but live in canada for a month and watch what we see on most of our faveriote shows ( Jag, ER, SIMPSONS....but i guess they bash everyone, and seinfield) and you'll think there anti-canadian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Yeah, there'a a lot of shows that bash Canada, Simpsons being the prime example: "America Jr." "Who can find Canada? Tucked all the way down in there" And who saw they episode where they went to Toronto? It doesn't matter though, I'm Canadian and I don't care, it's all in good fun.

It is disturbing that so few Americans can find their own country. Agreed. When that high a percentage of people in such a large country can't find it, it does start to worry me...
